10 ways Teespring’s new launcher will revolutionize the way you sell globally

Over the last several months the Teespring Team has been hard at work making significant improvements to the way our community creates and sells products. With this new launcher update, we aim to simplify the launch process, save you valuable time, expand our future product offering, and give buyers an optimized shopping experience when they visit your listings. We’re still in the early stages of testing but so far we’ve found international shoppers are 2x more likely to purchase on global listings compared to non-global listings!

Below we’ll discuss some of the immediate benefits this update offers sellers. Keep in mind the list below applies to new listings created with the new launcher. In the coming weeks, we’ll release additional updates to continue improving seller and buyer experience on Teespring. Learn how to create global listings in this demo video.

1) More products, more money!

Now you can add as many products and colors as you want—gone are the days of the 15 product limit! Easily combine apparel, accessories, and home products within your listings. You can offer all product types too…even ones that weren’t compatible in the past (like adult + children’s products). Also, the resizing issue some sellers experienced when combining certain product types (with smaller printable areas) is a thing of the past!

2) Fresh new mockups

Teespring product mockups are getting an update too! Based on your feedback it’s clear that shoppers prefer flat product mockups. From now on all upper-body apparel created in the new launcher (such as t-shirts, hoodies, tank tops, etc.) will feature our new flat-lay mockups.

3) Goin’ global

Global products save you valuable time and effort by removing the necessity to create separate EU and US listings. These products can be fulfilled within the EU or US—the fulfillment region is determined by the buyer’s location. We’re planning to continue expanding the number of global product options in the launcher so keep an eye out for updates.

Look for the globe icon to identify global products in the launcher

4) Worldwide domination

You can easily identify global listings within the “Products” section of your dashboard. If you see a globe icon next to a listing (under “Region”) this means it offers global products.

You can identify global listings within the ‘Products’ section of your Teespring Account

5) Selling around the world

Adding global products to your listings creates an optimized shopping experience for buyers. Global listings automatically display the best shipping rates and delivery timelines based on each buyer’s location. This update should help boost listing performance—during testing we found European shoppers are 2x more likely to purchase on global listings compared to non-global listings!

6) Get Boosted!

Creating global products increases your total number of eligible products that can be added to the Boosted Network. Now you’ll have the chance to benefit from more Boosted Network listings without having to spend extra time creating products for multiple regions. Don’t forget if your listing is intended for a specific language market (like French) we still recommend optimizing your listings with translations.

7) The price is right

Another improvement the new launcher offers is the ability to customize profit per region during listing creation. By default, the profit will be similar for global products (EU + US) and you can easily adjust the selling price displayed for both regions.

8) Variety is the spice of life

Not only can you offer products with unique designs in one listing, you can now add additional designs during launch too! Select “Add More Products” during listing setup and add your unique design for each product type. If you’re listing is already live you can use the “Add to existing listing” option as well. Keep in mind you can’t add different designs for the same product type (for example, two unisex shirts with two different designs), but you can add different designs for different product types (see example of unisex shirt and ladies tee below). Use your listings to sell matching products to couples, friends, parents/kids, bachelor/bachelorette groups, and more—the possibilities are endless!

Example of custom ‘his and her’ t-shirts

9) All it takes is one!

In December 2017 we took the first steps to removing the ‘goal’ concept from Teespring. Moving forward you’ll notice there are no selling goals associated with listings created in the new launcher. If you sell one product the order will go to print. It’s as simple as that!

10) It’s all about timing

Teespring has become a platform where people can sell products that are always available…and when the community shared feedback that the “End Time” countdown timer located in the “Products” section of seller accounts was a bit confusing we agreed! From now on you’ll notice a new “Next Print” section instead. “Next Print” indicates the time when current orders on your listing will go to print (print cycle).

All products created in the new launcher will automatically be set to three-day print cycles and will always be available for purchase.

If you want to offer products for a limited time you can do this by updating your listing’s lifecycle settings after launch. Learn more.

If there are no orders placed when the timer ends it will reset to three days and start counting down again.

Don’t forget print cycles won’t end on the weekends, so we may add extra days to the print cycle to ensure it doesn’t end on Friday, Saturday or Sunday—keep in mind orders will still be delivered within the correct timeframe.

You can choose to remove or add the countdown timer to all of your listings within your account setting as shown below.

I am having difficulty adding simple art…all the clip art I add you all take it down stating…copyright concerns…so how do I add art to my tees? Because no art us popping up under your new text or image selections. Please bring back clip art.

I dnt like the new way to design shirts because I can no longer put my graphics on the back of neck .. and you can’t stretch the image vertically so its difficult unless you design in a template.. you guys would have been better off adding print location.. Side an top of hoodie .. sleeves of hoodies, sweater and long sleeves .. back of neck logos.. short sleeve logos .. would be better than flags beach towels and tote bags

It is an exciting news and the new launcher seems very good for the sellers. But I have a question about the campaigns that are already launched. Will we be able to edit the existing campaigns with the new launcher? I mean due to the limitation of colors I have to launch two or more campaigns of the same design, will I be able to edit these campaigns so that all of the products show under a single campaign?

Hey Umer! These features can only be applied to listings created in the NEW launcher. This means you’ll need to create new listings once you’ve gotten access. Yes – with the new launcher there are no product or color limits. 🙂

Hi Kate. I had a few questions. If sellers are not able to edit existing campaigns with the new launcher, is it possible to turn existing campaigns into global listings? If we are not able to edit a campaign with the new launcher, how will we be able to do so if we need to make a change in the future? Also, I still haven’t gotten the update yet. Could I please be added to the list for beta access? Thanks.

The new designer is missing features. 1- The t-shirt is visibly to small to design on when scaling. Can barely see what you’re doing because the pointer and icons get in the way. 2- Wha happened to the intregated art uploads you guys had to choose from the teespring art? 3- You can’t git rid of the backound on the art uploaded. The push behind/forward feature is missing. 4 – The text fonts should be put back into categories like before so the user doesn’t have to keep scrolling down just to scroll all the way back up because the choice font was missed. 5 – The original looking T-shirts like the ones you now have in the “Create and buy your won shirt” looks a lot better. That original design tool was a lot easier to use. The T-shirt was large enough to work on in the workspace.

Hello Kate!!! First kudos to TEESPRING for being innovative!! I LOVE TEESPRING!!! Thank you for the update that is coming soon. When will it be available for the entire community? I have a design concern: Under the current format the T-Shirt Mock Up Model is PERFECT! It is large and our designs stand out!! The old version is more 3D looking. The printing area seems much larger than the new. Under the new design, the mock up seems flat and smaller. I am not receiving that same WOW FACTOR when uploading designs. Could we possibly make the new mock ups bigger so that when buyers come to our pages, the designs will POP off the shirts like they do now. One thing that inspired me to join Teespring was seeing how designs really stood out on the marketplace. My concern is that we will loose some of that magic. Thank you for adding the PROMO CODE too!! SOOOOO EXCITED for the launch!! GAME CHANGER!!!!

Hey Tyreese – I’ve added this email as well to beta request list. Full launch depends on beta testing progress. Right now we’re adding some new updates based on user feedback. There are several more updates we plan to add before full launch.

Hey Umer! These features can only be applied to listings created in the NEW launcher. This means you’ll need to create new listings once you’ve gotten access. Yes – with the new launcher there are no product or color limits. 🙂

Hi! Very Agree with Richard. The new design has a lot of missings, comparing with the previous one. No clip art library, no possiblity anymore to set the proper currency for each campaign, poor design editing tools now. Not such user friendly anymore, and with not so much editing options as well. It is more like a downgrade now. 🙁

1. We removed the clipart tool because designs created with clipart do not convert as well, especially in the boosted network 2. You don’t need to set the currency ~ the currency automatically updates based on buyer location. You can customize prices for each region during launch process. 3. I’m not sure which design editing tools you’re referring too–you can still resize, edit, etc. on the mockups.

I would like to add that the new flat mockups have PROVEN to increase conversion rates ~ we’ve already seen the rate increase by 10% compared to old mockups. Also, the new grey background was added for optimization within several of our integrated marketplaces in the boosted network.

We tested all of these changes and collected feedback from beta users before implementing the update. We have been able to add 8 new products to the launcher and we’ve got a couple more updates on the way that you guys are going to find very useful. 😉

Thank You Tee Springs! I have done pretty well for a novice. The new design is much better to work with. I am disabled and it is hard for me to shoot out new designs.But this may help some. Thanks again for offering this service.

I like the features of the new launcher but i have some concerns. 1. The t shirt mockups i think they are smaller than the old launcher. 2. You cannot put the exact size of the image. With the old launcher you can just type the size and it will adjust automatically, now its very difficult to adjust the size of the image you want. 3. The printable image are smaller. 4. When you duplicate your existing designs you have to upload the new image again. My major concern here is if you can just please make the printable image bigger that would be fine.

Hi Team, I just received access to the new beta launcher, very exciting! However, when I want to duplicate something, I have to start from scratch… Also, I can’t access our library of images anymore. Will this be fixed? Thanks!

Hi, I haven’t been online for a few days and just logged into my Teespring account to find out that there has been an update or new launcher program. I must admit, it through me for a bit, but I am sure you will have tutorials on how to use the new version of Teespring, correct? Please update and inform me of the new process tutorials. I have enjoyed the old process for two months now and feel a little like a “fish out of water.” Thanks!

The t-shirt display on the new launcher concerns me. The dotted red lines don’t look centered in the print area. Why is there more fabric on the right side in the photo? I’m concerned my art won’t be centered. I prefer the t-shirt old display. It was not a flat shirt and was much more centered.

The part where we can contribute a percentage of the profit is missing. Could you add them back? And could we still add a link to an outside site in the product’s description with this new launcher? I haven’t try it yet.

New launcher is ok, because I can add unlimited number of colors. But.. mock up for the hoodies and t-shirts is just… It can not compare to the old one. The old one just looking more muscular, expensive (that’s work for me since 95% of my sales goes on mans hoodie & t-shirts) There is big difference between old and new mock up for the pullover hoodie. That new one is appear to be much more wider. So the same design will cover only half front side, but on the old mock up will cover basically the whole front size. So what will customer get? If I go with the old launcher the whole front size will be printed? or only half (as appearing on the new mock up) The reason why I decided to give my opinion is because I received message from the customer ( interested in hoodie with the new mock up) asking if he can get the hoodie like the one I’m offering with the other (old mock up) designs.

Hi ,thank you for this awesome opportunity to design and create our own products. Being a total newbie to this realm , I found myself lacking a lot of basic info. I hope this will improve asap. One thing I really need to understand is how to change the fonts on my designs, as i’m not provided with any alternatives other than the font that comes with the platform.Of course this is insufficient. Please inform me how to access other fonts to be used immediately . Thanks again. Gersh

Hey Gersh, we are currently not planning on adding additional fonts to the Teespring Launcher. If you want to design in a new font, I would recommend using another design software and then uploading this as an image.

I mostly like it, but I find myself using the original because the new one doesn’t the option to remove the background of my photo. It bothers me because I can only use one color since my photos aren’t clipart. If you could readd it that would be great.

Dear team, I work with teespring last 4 months but I have zero sales I work hard but no sale on my account Views are continuously show in statics but no one item is sale. Kindly help me in this situation.

This is exciting, I have been using Teespring for awhile now and I am in love! However, recently I added more merch of the same design and it has been taking more than a couple hours to load and launch? Has anyone else has issues like this? If so, please let me know what I can do to make it go faster because it may just be my laptop?

Hey Ron, you can still use the classic launcher if you like. When you open the Teespring launcher, be sure to click the “switch to classic launcher” arrow in the top left corner of your screen. Thanks!

Hey I can’t find the classic launcher button. Did you guys do away with it? This new launcher IS NOT user friendly. It doesn’t allow me to center my words or add my own look to my designs. I do well with buying right then but now with trying to sell in my store.

Hey Kristie, you can still access the classic launcher. When you open the Teespring Launcher, in the top left under “Choose your product” is an arrow that will take you to the classic launcher when clicked.

Hey Mitel, you can change back to the old launcher after launching the new Teespring launcher. In the top left corner of the screen underneath the “choose your products” setting is an arrow that reads “switch to the classic launcher.” Click this and you will be back to the old launcher.
